I haven't been puked on but I did get some serious diaper blowout on my lap and the scarf I was wearing and had to strip that off delicately from around my neck. I used babywipes on my pants to clean them until I got home.
Isabel did not appreciate stripping in the park and wearing BOYS pj's home. THANK HEAVENS we were other moms and one of them had spare clothes!!

Agreed...Every. Single. Day. At least 50 times a day.

Used to. Not so much since I decided not to care what others think; there are so few Christians in this culture that it's rare to come across one that thinks you're doing it wrong (or at least one who will tell you so to your face).
Funny child accident story. Was watching a friend's kid at a restaurant; his folks were away and his caretaker was still eating and he wanted to play with the pool table. He started running laps around the table and I didn't recognize this as a need to pee until it was too late. We almost made it to the toilets; he was completely soaked from the waist down. He went from heartbroken tears to "Guess what everybody! I peed my pants!" in about 30 seconds (he was about five). His caretaker had the brilliant idea of running to her apartment a block away to find him something to wear; she found a white-and-black striped shirt, which she had him put on like pants, telling him all the while he could pretend he was a pirate. Worked like a charm. His eight-year-old was mortified of course. LOL
Next time I see a child running in circles, I will know what question to ask!

Hmmm, just been thinking about this: there is one thing that doesn't frustrate me, but I do find it curious (but only find it here): that some people think Christians should vote only Republican, and that's it. Here in the UK, there is no such pressure and you will find Christians voting for both the three main parties and some of the others, without anyone calling their faith into question.

HERE is a link to an article about a strain of pneumonia or flu that is a combination of 3 different ones in the Ukraine. Poland is afraid it'll head west. It sounds scary...makes H1N1 look like a cake walk.

Manda, if anything it's almost the opposite here (in Canada); the only politically outspoken Christians I've run across believe you should vote NDP, and nothing else (NDP=New Democratic Party; the most left-wing of the three major parties in Canada), because they would ostensibly be the most active re social justice. BTW, I've also met American Christians who take a more left-of-center stance, out of a desire to support social justice issues; I just don't know how vocal they are here.
From what I've seen of US politics, I'd guess that supporting the Republican party in the US is to a large extent about reducing or eliminating legalized abortions. In Canada that kind of lobbying would never work; Canada is generally more centrist/leftist so no party would put anything in their platform about getting rid of abortion. In fact, for years every left-wing lobbyist and reporter insisted our current conservative had a "hidden agenda" and would get rid of abortion the moment he got a majority in Parliament, just because he's an Evangelical Christian.  Would he do it if he thought the country would support it? Probably. Otherwise I'd say he's too savvy for that. OTOH, in the US, there's a much larger pro-life movement than here, so Republicans can afford to support it.
Part of me is enough of a pessimist to wonder if it really makes that big a difference who's in power.

Now see, that's one of the misconceptions that bugs me. (Not aiming that at you, Anne-girl, just saying in general because I see it a lot.) I do vote Republican most of the time, and I am a pro-lifer, but I do not ever expect the government - regardless of who is in charge - to eliminate legalized abortions. For me, personally, what it boils down to is that I cannot vote for someone whose core values are vastly different than mine, and the issue of abortion is just a part of that. THAT is why I vote pro-life, NOT because I think "my guy" is going to change anything.

We discuss a LOT of politics, with both sides. It tends to stay pretty polite but there are some people that make me want to bang my head against a wall(I'm sure they feel same way about me ).
I will be honest. While I am very openly pro-life, it is not something that I base my vote on anymore. I don't feel that it's something that will ever be made illegal and I find that there are many other PRESSING issues(Cap and Trade, anyone?) that are more important and pertinent right now.

I always feel so ... inadequate .... when someone has suffered a great loss. Other people seem to be more eloquent ... more thoughtful .... better equipped to say and do something really meaningful, whereas I feel like once I've said that I'm sorry and I will pray, I feel like that's not enough.
Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
I always feel that way too.

Juanler, that is awesome that you have been lurking and are now posting! Good for you!!
I've been on Crosswalk for about 9 years in these forums and I can still remember posting that first time. I couldn't believe that there were my words -- on the internet! (Of course being 9 years ago I don't think as many people were posting, I had never heard of a blog, there was no Facebook.)
So, that being said -- how do you feel about leaving lurking status behind and now being a poster here?
Again, WELCOME!
Jeanie

Manda, you wouldn't find that only here but there's no way for you to hang out in our living rooms so I guess you just have to take my word on that.
Here's one that DH and I just never will understand when we've heard it from other Christians (and this is NOT calling the other Christians' faith into question, just that I'm not sure how you can really get okay with it):
Why are so many Christians okay with people being tortured? I mean, to get information from people to help with war efforts, etc. TORTURED.
I just will never understand it.
I just can't see Christianity and torture as really intermixing, but apparently a lot of Christians do.
